Rajini borrows yet again from Mohanlal?

Rajinikanth’s new film ‘Shivaji’ is rumored to be inspired from a Mohanlal hit.

Rajini’s craze for Malayalam film probably began when he acted in ‘Muthu’. It was an adaptation of Mohanlal’s ‘Thenmaavin Kombathu’. Then, he acted in ‘Baba’, which bombed. When he was desperately looking for a hit, help arrived in the form of ‘Manichitrathaaz’. Coincidentally, Mohanlal was the hero of this film too.

‘Chandramukhi’, the remake of the Kannada remake of ‘Manichitrathaaz’ turned out to be one of the biggest hits of Rajini’s career. There are rumors that his new film, ‘Shivaji’, with Shankar as the director, is also going to be a remake of another Mohanlal film with director Joshi.
